TRUE CONFESSIONS

"This man deserves death; he has prophesied against this city." —Jeremiah 26:11

Jeremiah prophesied the truth against Jerusalem, although he risked his life in doing so. John the Baptizer told Herod and Herodias the truth about their adultery. For this, John was beheaded (Mt 14:4ff). Jesus, Who is the Truth (Jn 14:6), came into the world "to testify to the truth" (Jn 18:37). He spoke the truth in love (Eph 4:15), and was executed by crucifixion.

Are you walking in the truth? (see 1 Jn 1:6) Are you fighting for the truth even to death? (Sir 4:28; Jude 3) Do you say with Paul: "We cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the sake of the truth" (2 Cor 13:8)?

To be men and women of truth, we must be committed totally to the Truth, Jesus Himself (see Jn 18:37). We must "share in His sufferings by being formed into the pattern of His death" (Phil 3:10). We must be decide to be consecrated in the truth as Jesus was on Calvary (Jn 17:19).
